If you have forgotten the Ignite repository password or need to change it, the following steps will provide assistance for modification:

1.  Determine the location of the Ignite repository and the Ignite login name.  This information is displayed on the Ignite login page above the User and Password fields next to the Repository label.  In the example below, the Ignite login is DEANPI and the database instance name is SEBOX1.

2.  Using SQL Server Management Studio, Oracle Enterprise Manager or other favorite tool, reset the password for the Ignite login.

3.  Determine where the Ignite PI Server resides in order to modify a properties file.  This information is located in your URL, e.g. if your URL to access Ignite is http://sebox1:8123/iwc/login.iwc, the Ignite PI Server is located on the machine named SEBOX1.  Note: In this example the Ignite repository database and Ignite PI Server are both located on SEBOX1 but they can reside on physically different machines.

4.  Login to the Ignite PI Server machine and edit the repo.properties file (simple text file):

Windows: The default location of this file is in the C:\Program Files\Confio\Ignite PI\iwc\tomcat\ignite_config\idc directory. 

Linux or Unix : The default location of this file is in the <IgniteHome>/iwc/tomcat/ignite_config/idc directory where <IgniteHome> is the top level directory where Ignite was installed.

5.  In the repo.properties file, modify the repo.password line to reflect the same password you used in Step 2.  Type the password in clear text and Ignite will automatically encrypt the password for you.

6.  After saving the file, restart the Ignite PI Server.
